I posted a list of three things that D doesn't have that make life a lot 
easier in C++.  One of them was returning references from functions. 
Walter's response was "D will get all of those".   Now it may be a 
really long time before they come to pass, and Walter may change his 
mind, but at least at one point he said references would become returnable.
